Our mission is to initiate, nurture young and entrepreneurial minded people by providing hands-on skills, resources, and network. Our association wants to promote the Startups in Finland to the world.

SWITCH is a pioneer of its kind that follows the Entrepreneurship Society movement. It’s built for young talented people in Finland to access to the Entrepreneurship path.
